Title: Improvements in and relating to the coating of articles by means of thermally vaporised material
IPC: C23C14/32
Filed: 1938-08-23
Abstract: 510,993. Coating with metals or metal compounds; cleaning metals. BERGHALTS, B. Aug. 23, 1938, No. 24796. Convention date. Aug. 26, 1937. [Class 82 (ii)] [Also in Groups XI and XXXVI] In coating articles by means of thermally vaporized material the vaporization is effected in a reduced pressure of 40-0.001 mm. of mercury, preferably 5-0.01 mm., the articles being connected up permanently or temporarily as a cathode of a glow discharge and the voltage being so chosen that they are completely covered by the glow. The vaporized material may be a metal, alloy, or a metal compound, e.g. a carbonyl or oxide. When a direct current voltage is used the positive pole is connected to a separate electrode or to the vacuum vessel; with alternating current half of the articles may be connected to one pole and half to the other. The residual gas is preferably one which does not react with the material to be vaporized, e.g. argon or hydrogen, and the voltage, which may be from 400 to 20,000 volts, is chosen according to the temperature to be imparted to the articles. The vacuum vessel is preferably cooled and may be provided with heat insulation. The articles, if metallic, may be treated for a time in the discharge prior to the vaporization in order to remove all impurities such as oxides, traces of fat &c. The metallization may be carried out in the apparatus shown, comprising a vessel 1 with a cover 2 which is closed by eccentric members 4 and packing 3, a cooling air passage being provided in the cover. The vessel is exhausted at 5, any desired gas being introduced at 6. The material to be vaporized is placed in a crucible 7 which has a lining 8 and is heated by a hollow cooled high frequency coil 9, the ends of the coil being introduced through the cover 2 by lead-in conductors 10, 11, each having metallic screening sleeves 12, 13, covered by a cap 14 and provided with insulating members 15, 16, a sealing member 17, and a screw-threaded clamping ring 18. The articles 20 to be metallized are mounted on a hollow lead-in conductor 21 which is cooled by fluid, e.g. water, entering at 22 and issuing at 23. Around the conductor are metallic screens 24, 25, arranged at such a short distance apart that no glow discharge takes place in the intermediate spaces. Insulating and sealing rings 26, 27 and a clamping ring 28 are provided. A cooling space 29 is formed in the vacuum vessel, cooling medium entering at 30 and issuing at 31. To produce the glow discharge one pole of the secondary 37 of an alternating current transformer 38 may be connected through a switch 39 to the conductor 21 and the other pole through a resistance 40 and switch 41 to the sleeve 24, or the negative pole of a source of direct current 32 is connected to the conductor 21 through a switch 33, the positive pole being connected either to the sleeve 24 or to the wall of the vacuum vessel.

Abstract: 443,639. Moulding and vulcanizing rubber by rolling-machines. REDFERN'S RUBBER WORKS, Ltd., Hyde, Cheshire, and COFFEY, J. H., Roselawn, Kenelm Road, Rhos-on-Sea, Denbighshire. Aug. 29, 1934, No. 24905. [Classes 70 and 87 (ii)] Rubber articles, such as matting, are moulded in relatively long lengths by causing a flexible mould of the required length to travel in contact with a roller round which plasticized rubber stock is lapped and so to cut a continuous blank from the stock which fills the mould, vulcanizing the rubber in the mould, and then dividing the moulded sheet from the mould. The rubber stock 1 is sheeted between two rollers 2, 3 and is fed into the mould 4 which is unwound from a roller 6 and supported by a roller 5. The filled mould passes round a vulcanizing drum 8 and a fabric reinforcement 9, with or without a backing, may be united with the rubber on the drum 8. The moulded rubber and the mould are wound up on rollers 15, 16 respectively. The mould may be formed of vulcanized rubber. The mould is preferably maintained at a higher temperature than the roller 3 which preferably rotates at a higher peripheral speed than the mould so that a ridge of rubber is formed behind the nip. A band knife may move across the surface of the filled mould to remove excess rubber. According to the Provisional Specification the filled mould may be coiled up and removed to a vulcanization chamber.

Patent GB-839552-A (GB)
Title: Stabilization of petroleum distillates
IPC: C10G27/04
Filed: 1956-08-16
Abstract: The stability of petroleum distillates is increased by exposing the distillate to high-energy ionizing radiation in the presence of oxygen or a gas containing free oxygen, whereby an oil-insoluble sediment is produced from unstable constituents of the distillate and the sediment is separated.  The stability of a petroleum distillate may also be determined by exposing the sample of it to high-energy ionizing radiation as before and measuring the amount of oil insoluble sediment produced by the irradiation.  Details are given of the introduction of the oxygen containing gas, the sources of ionizing radiations, temperatures, pressures, dosages and the methods of separation of the sediment.

Title: Lathe turret operation
IPC: B23Q16/06
Filed: 1936-09-16
Abstract: 481,739. Lathe turrets. HERBERT, Ltd., A., LLOYD, A. H., LEONARD, C., and HARRISON, B. C. Sept. 16, 1936, No. 25206. [Class 83 (iii)] A turret 6 for mounting on a lathe cross slide 2 is provided with hand lever 14 which may be operated either to clamp and lock the turret or -to leave it free to be indexed step-by-step by oscillating the lever. The turret, provided with four tools 10, fits over a central stem 4 on its support and rests on a seating 8. The hand lever is mounted on a spindle 12 which passes through a sleeve 17, screws at 13 into the stem 4, and carries a sleeve 18 provided with a cam surface 19 coacting with a vertical rack rod 20 connected through a spindle 23 to the spring-pressed locking bolt 24 engaging one of the bushed holes 26 in the turrent. The sleeve 18 is also formed with unsymmetrical notches 28 coacting with a spring plunger 30. With the turret in an indexed position and the locking bolt and plunger 30 engaged, the hand lever 14 is moved clockwise, Fig. 2, to clamp the turret on its seating 8, thus also disengaging the plunger 30. To rotate theturret to another position, the handle is moved anticlockwise by more than 90‹, the plunger 30 slipping past the notch it previously occupied and into the next notch. The same movement also disengages the locking bolt so that the turret may be rotated to any position, the plunger 30 slipping past any intermediate notches. Finally, the turret' may be locked and clamped by reverse movement of the lever. Alternatively, the turret may be rotated stepby-step by oscillating the lever through approximately 90‹ from the position shown in the drawings. In the anticlockwise movement the plunger slips from one notch to the next and unlocks the turret and on the return movement the steep side of notch 28 causes the turret to move with the handle.

Title: Improvements in sheet feeding devices
IPC: B65H5/16
Filed: 1956-08-17
Abstract: 788,780. Feeding sheets. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Aug. 17, 1956 [Aug. 22, 1955], No. 25281/56. Class 100(1) Sheet-forwarders; grippers. Sheets are supported at rest adjacent a continuously movable conveyer, such as a belt or roller, and electromagnetic clutching means is operable to clamp the sheets to the conveyer for movement therewith. As shown, an endless belt 1 of woven nylon thread or other non-magnetic material is supported by two cylinders 2, 3, one of which is driven continuously. Adjacent the belt is a fixed block 4 having a series of slots 5 whose slightly tapered sides support the reduced ends of free ferromagnetic rollers 6. Light spring 6a bias the rollers upwardly. On the opposite side of the belt 1 is an electromagnet 7 connectible to a source 8 of direct current through a switch 9. A presserbar 10 of non-magnetic material having a low coefficient of friction is fastened to the magnet. A record sheet 11 is fed in at right angles to the direction of the belt feed and passes between the belt and rollers 6 until it strikes a pair of fixed stops 12. The sheet 11 is held in this position by a light pressure finger 13 until the switch 9 is closed, whereupon the electromagnet 7 pulls the free rollers 6 which press the sheet against the belt 11. The sheet is fed rapidly towards the cylinder 2 by the belt, amd is then gripped between the belt and a spring-urged roller 14 for movement to another station. Current may be supplied to the magnet 7 by a cam-controlled or other selective switch. In a modification, the record sheet 11 is retained at rest above the upper, run of the endless belt 1, a ferromagnetic presser-bar aranged above the sheet has a pin-and-slot connection with one end of a pivoted link, and the electromagnet 7 is arranged below the upper run of the belt. When the magnet 7 is temporarily energized, the presser-bar is attracted thereto and Dresses the record sheet on the moving belt 1. and the bar is moved therewith a short distance and subsequently returned by a spring. A further modification is described wherein the record sheet 11 is fed transversely to a rest position between two opposed travelling endless belts, where it rests on the upper run of the lower belt but is retained at rest by a light spring. The lower belt is of non-magnetic material, the upper belt is of magnetic material, and an electromagnet is arranged beneath the upper run of the lower belt. On energizing the magnet, the upper belt is pulled against the record sheet which is thus transported by the two belts. All the devices can be used as means for decelerating moving sheets by slowing down or slipping the belt drive.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the manufacture of sulphate of alumina
IPC: C01F7/743
Filed: 1929-08-23
Abstract: In obtaining aluminium sulphate from uncalcined fireclay or shales by treatment with sulphuric acid, the specific gravity of the acid, ranging from 1,55 or higher to 1,42, is correlated to the degree of fineness of the ore, ground to pass through a sieve within the range of 40-200 meshes per linear inch, so that, having regard to other factors acting such as steam, the ore is kept in suspension without caking.  In a method of carrying out the process, 75-90 per cent of the theoretical amount of ground uncalcined ore is gradually added to the boiling acid, the specific gravity being maintained at about 1,7 by adding weak liquor from previous operations.  After boiling, free sulphur trioxide is neutralized by adding burnt fireclay.  Weak liquor is added to reduce the specific gravity to 1,55, and the liquor, while passing to the settler, is further diluted to a specific gravity of about 1,3 with boiling weak liquor blown up from the settler.  After the separation of mud, small carbonaceous particles are removed by filtering through sawdust.  By employing uncalcined fireclay, iron is retained in the light-coloured ferrous form.
